And to do that you force everyone to use english?
English is a great lingua france but there are parts of the web that are only targeted at speakers of one language. Why should they have to type strange stuff into the address bar to get there?
Ausserdem habe ich so meine Zweifel ob du mich ploetzlich verstehst nur weil ich ISO 8859-1 verwende. Man kann die fehlenden Zeichen auch umschreiben.
- politician 15y agoGoogle and Mozilla have both stated intentions to get rid of the address bar; the number of users that will even see IDNs is a shrinking market. Rather than "typing strange stuff into the address bar", in a year or two most people will be "typing native stuff into a search box" -- if they aren't already. This move by ICANN is already irrelevant.

"I also have my doubts whether you understand me suddenly just because I use ISO 8859-1. One can also rewrite the missing characters." (Provide your own translation to the dominant language or rely on software to do it for you. That was Google's translation service.)
